Life and business can be tough sometimes. We all have a personal crest– a stamp or imprint that is unique to only us. I work with you to find this in yourself or your business so that you can be more successful.
I’ve been in the Human Resources industry for 25 years and have experienced highs and lows first hand – both personally and professionally. I’ve learnt what works and what doesn’t.
I have experience in the following competencies and can assist with:
- Employee Engagement Projects
- Leadership Growth and Development
- Employee Recognition
- Employee and Employer Relationship Nurturing
- Cultural Diversity and Inclusion
I love working with individuals too, helping them find their personal stamp so that they can gain in confidence and flourish, making better choices for themselves to match their values and identity.
Let me help you unlock your full potential and assist in making you and your business thrive through my career coaching and human resources services.
Whether coaching you personally or conducting leadership coaching
I would love to help you achieve your full potential!
Ask yourself:
Are your values and beliefs the same as those in your business/job?
Are you a leader in your business but don’t feel you have reached your full potential?
Does your employer brand and people policy attracting the right people?
Do you know you have potential but just can’t get your act together?
Are the engagement levels in your business low or hit a plateau?
Do you have high staff turnover negatively effecting your business?
Are you struggling with your confidence or your belief in success?
Are you battling to juggle all your priorities and not seeming to distinguish the wood from the trees?
If you’ve answered yes to more than half of these, I am here to help!
I offer a FREE 15 minute coaching session for all clients to help explore what’s on your mind.
Often clients say that they experience “lightbulb” insights at this first session.
For bespoke business rates tailored to your company’s needs, I can discuss a mutually beneficial offering on application.

Larene Bentley, Director at Xylem Analytics
I have had the pleasure of working with the lovely Desiree in various roles of my job and personal issues. Desiree is very professional and knowledgeable. She helped me set up a working group within my team to assist with training and guidance particularly during these lockdown times. Distance working started off tough, but once I received help from Desiree it became a lot easier and everything worked out better than I could have ever imagined. Desiree has also taught me how to value myself and lead by example.
I highly recommend Crest Coaching and would definitely be using them in the future.
Lisa Hancox, Head of Marketing & Operations
Working with Desiree allowed me the time and space to achieve three objectives: 1) understand how remote working is impacting leadership for individuals, teams and their leaders 2) think about the culture, skills and areas where I feel I flourish most at work and those I need to work on 3) how to effectively progress teams through high performance, communication, HR responsibilities and trouble-shoot scenarios. I would highly recommend Desiree’s leadership coaching skills.
Rebecca Newenham, Owner Get Ahead VA
Desiree ran a wonderful team-building workshop for me. She immediately understands what support I needed and she came up with an imaginative solution. Desiree was naturally able to engage with my team from the very beginning and facilitated a really effective session all on Zoom! As a business leader, I really appreciated Desiree’s ability to understand how she could benefit me and my team and she delivered this perfectly.
Helen Alexander, Employment Advisor
Desiree is a great career coach. She is a great listener and has given me practical steps to get back into the employment market after looking after my daughter. It can be a challenging step getting back into work after having time off to have a family and Desiree has helped me start my journey, to build my confidence and make my options clearer. Highly recommend Desiree as a work coach.
Paula Kemp, Entrepreneur
I had several coaching sessions with Desiree where we worked on my new business as I was pivoting to something that I was excited to do, but was completely different and outside of my comfort zone. Desiree helped me to create clarity in how I wanted my new business to look like and what values I wanted to focus on. Thank you, Desiree, for your help, I would highly recommend her.
Jane Graham, BSA Nurse Advisor and Director of Health and Wellbeing Boarding schools Association Action + First Aid
Desiree and I have collaborated on a couple of projects to promote mental health and well-being in the workplace. Her dedication to this area is inspirational. Her drive and enthusiasm for the topic with the aim of supporting others demonstrates her ability to coach and guide people to achieve their true potential.
I am looking forward to working with her again.
I am looking forward to working with her again.
Sophie Hatton, HR Director
I had the pleasure of working with Desiree when we both worked as Senior HRBPs for a large retail and technology organisation, which had just completed a merger with another big retailer. During this time, Desiree led, and project managed the Employee Engagement Survey internationally which was a new initiative for the two merged companies. When we first met, I was immediately impressed by her strong communication skills, business acumen and her ability to build strong relationships with her stakeholders. Desiree had to deal with some tough stakeholders with some difficult ER issues, and she was able to coach and empower her stakeholders to deal with these. She had the ability to work collaboratively with her stakeholders and her peers and was very well-liked by both groups. It wasn’t just Desiree’s technical skills that impressed me. She was also a joy to work with because of her amazingly positive and ‘can do’ attitude and her eagerness to stick to tight deadlines. She was relied on to get the job done!
Margo Barsukova, Senior SEO Strategist
I was coached by Desiree and absolutely loved her coaching style. We worked through some of the career questions that were blocking me at the time, and through her skilful use of Clean Language and NLP methods, I was able to break through into new opportunities to come into my space. The process wasn’t easy on a personal level for me, but because of Desiree’s supportive presence and dedication to my success, I was able to open up and transform the feeling of “stuck” into an open space of opportunity.
